    Now that Jake Paul has “dispatched” Mike Tyson, he’s ready for his next money-making event. And he’s ended up with an opponent who, no surprise, is older and retired.

    On Saturday, hours after beating the 58-year-old former heavyweight champion by unanimous decision, Paul called out former UFC champion Conor McGregor, who is 36. But he doesn’t want to box him like he did with Tyson.

    He wants an MMA fight.

    The 27-year-old YouTuber turned fighter wrote on No weight class. Just like before, but you don’t do that.”

    McGregor, who has no doubt seen the memes circulating on social media, responded with one of his own.

    “Nakisa already called me, boy, this man is next for you. Good luck buddy,” McGregor wrote, along with a photo of Senator Mitch McConnell. For those of you who don’t follow politics, McConnell is 82.

    Paul experts have suggested everyone from Clint Eastwood to former President Jimmy Carter to Robert DeNiro (who actually won an Oscar for his portrayal of a boxer in “Raging Bull”) as Paul’s next opponent.

    Meanwhile, Paul is counting his money — he claims he made about $40 million for his performance against Tyson — and touts his company Most Valuable Promotions, whose deal with Netflix helped the streamer reach 60 million households — and save many frustrated subscribers deliver.
